A simple module that tracks CCK FileField downloads and only makes downloads available to anonymous users if they enter their email address. Returning anonymous users are tracked using a cookie. A tracking interface shows email address and user account information for tracked files downloaded on the site.
Why only have users enter their email address? Email addresses are a unique and easy way to identify users, and the barrier for entry is lower than actually registering for the site.
Set up is easy:
- Download, install, and enable the module.
- For any filefield you would like to track, choose one of the display formatters labeled "(with tracking)".
- Watch statistics stack up at http://example.com/admin/reports/downloads.
FIleField paths should be sufficiently complex or contain a hash so that direct URLs to files are hard to guess.
This module is heavily based on Email Download.
